I do admire people like that, and I know a number of people who agree with me. Disaproval usually comes from people who are jealous that they didn't do the same thing, and instead are stuck being bean counters for some conglomerate of a company that doesn't care one bit for their employees unless they advance the bottom line.<BR/><BR/>It's not lack of discipline or maturity, it's not fearing risk. And not fearing risk is what has lead me to follow my dreams and achieve so much more than lots of people my age. I quite like the concept of this book, and I think there are a lot of other people out there who will like it as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1152212970103902022006-07-06T15:09:00.000-04:002006-07-06T15:09:00.000-04:00kis gets it. kids are like boomarangs so you have...kis gets it. kids are like boomarangs so you have to change the locks. -JTCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1152211601596137202006-07-06T14:46:00.000-04:002006-07-06T14:46:00.000-04:00To the minion that came up with #3 -- too cute! ...To the minion that came up with #3 -- too cute!

As soon as they find out the author doesn't live in her parent's basement, they'll decide they have nothing in common with her.<BR/><BR/>But I'm not finding myself in the same boat as parents these days. Soon as my kids turn sixteen (the age where social services stops bringing them back) I'm leaving their shit out on the sidewalk and changing the locks. Call it tough love.

It's a very fine line to walk. <BR/><BR/>But seriously, folks. Why do they put directions on cans of soup? And how about parking meters? What is WITH those things? Hey, what if the theme from Gilligan's Island was sung by the cast of 'Friends'? I think it might go something like this --<BR/><BR/>(My apologies to Tom Kenny and David Cross for stealing their bad comedian routines.)<BR/><BR/>...My advice would be that if you're going for funny, go for funny. I know that since this book is about you, you want all of you stuffed into this tiny little query letter - but that won't work. You just come off... squished. If this book is primarily funny, go back and take out what isn't. Don't just mention weird jobs - tell us what's funny about them. The sushi bit was a step in the right direction.Novelusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446059248591407659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1152206063476361222006-07-06T13:14:00.000-04:002006-07-06T13:14:00.000-04:00I think the author has a fatal disconnect with the...I think the author has a fatal disconnect with the real world. Nobody admires people who are "searching" or "following their dreams" or whatever. The more likely reaction would be disapproval of those who don't have the discipline or maturity to pick one field and stick with it rather than search for an elusive place in the world that for most doesn't exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1152204517061220882006-07-06T12:48:00.000-04:002006-07-06T12:48:00.000-04:00I really, really wanted to read Book #4.I really, really wanted to read Book #4.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1152201404679259762006-07-06T11:56:00.000-04:002006-07-06T11:56:00.000-04:00I'm a writer/artist/digital photographer/lounge si...I'm a writer/artist/digital photographer/lounge singer/panflute player/toponymist/Evil Editor wannabe.alyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622095616008032882noreply@blogger.com
